Almost 7 months to goo, yayyy.

I told Erics mom that it was so much easier just to gain weight, acually my exact words were, "Its so much more yummier and fun to gain weight, then to lose it" Of course she agreed. Do you think losing weight could ever be fun? Watching people around you order the tasty pasta with the hot buttery bread, or saying no to the hot fudge desserts. Ya, I guess so! NOT! lol. Thats what I mean, its so much easier just to be like, "ohh, one won't hurt me" But quite obviously I didnt just have one to get like this. How did I get like this? How did I go from quite fit and pretty, to not being comfortable in my body? Don't get me wrong, some people, acually a lot of people look really good with some meat on them, unless you are comfortable in your own skin, then don't change it for other people even if its not skinny or fit. Love who you are. Im only doing this blog because I am not comfortable in my skin, not only my head isnt, my body isn't. I feel heavy and different.

I type in "losing weight tips" and all it comes up with is like scams pretty much. I just wanted to know some help ful tips to get me going on the right track. Maybe some real stories about their weight loss experience! That would help so much. Instead all I get is 500 scams and some bullshit. I acually found this quote from a website which I thought was pretty helpful, it's pretty straight forward. I love it

It’s true what they say – all you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. You can quit reading this list now, you now know everything you need to know and didn’t need to fork over $500 for the privilege of me telling you the secret of losing weight. You don’t need to read a 4,000 page book, you don’t have to buy a tape series, you don’t need to stay up late at night to watch infomercials to understand this basic premise. It’s 100% true

It's basically saying that people look to much into things, not even just with losing weight. Everything in life. They make it so much harder then it really is. Everyone does it, I do it, you do it. This also was pretty interesting too!

Change your lifestyle. If you’re calling this a “diet,” then you’re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you’re changing your habits – and you’re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance. Don’t ever tell anybody you’re on a diet – ever. I’m speaking from experience, here – a reformed low-carber. Worked out well for a while, but ultimately failed because my entire lifestyle didn’t change (permanently).

I found this website was a good one, it was hard to find, but finally a good website lol http://chris.pirillo.com/50-weight-loss-tips/

I still need to post a picture eh? Ewww, lol. Honestly I dont wanna do it, but I know that when 7 months hit I can look back at that picture and look at a new picture of me and be like "dangggg" :)

So I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow with my boyfriend. Everytime I go grocery shopping not prepared I get so overwhelmed and want to leave. Eric usually does the pee dance only he doesn't have to go. Hes just impatient and hates when I look at the labels on EVERYTHING. Just like my mommy did when I was a kid, now I know why she does it lol. I guess its just the 1 thing she's taught me out of the million other things! =)

I know I need to bring a lot of veggies to work, I dont want to buy so many fruits just cause I know they will go bad really fast. The bad thing that always happens to me is that I get so hungry and then pick up the first thing thats right there, which is of course something bad. So what I'm going to do tomorrow is really prepare myself for the whole week for meals. It sounds hard, but it's not. Well it may be hard getting used to, just like everything is. But you make it work around your schedule. But anyways. All I really have to do is gain some willpower. Unfortunatly I have very little so if any time you want to give me some of yours, go right ahead! hahah. Its so funny, it feels like im talking to someone but i'm not! Kinda like a shrink, execpt not expensive. :)

Goodnight =)

  1. The changing of the lifestyle is the key...not that I have managed to do that yet either...

    I think it is important to NOT have any 'easy' food in the house...nothing processed and ready to eat that you can just grab and stuff in your face...but what you might try is spending a day or 2 a week preparing 'good' food that you can just grab and eat...like the Moroccan Lentil Salad we had at the cottage...salads like these tend to be complete meals and will last for 3 days in the fridge...they will fill you and are healthy...

    Getting over the cravings for processed food - sugar and fat filled food will take a couple of weeks...but if you stick at it, you will be on your way to being able to change your lifestyle...

    Maybe we should all, as a family, try this...we could get together and pick out some recipes...I have 3 salad ones at my fingertips right now!
